What does your Vet charge for a routine Exam? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TurtleDove · 10-27-2007, 03:35 PM

We have 2 vets ... Belle's vet charges $50 per office visit, and her spay was $250. Every single time we go to her vet, we are guaranteed to always spend at least $200.

My cousin goes to Banfield for her dogs, and told me about their good prices. So, when we got Ariel, we enrolled her in the Basic Puppy Plan, where we pay an up front fee of $160, and $26 a month after that for all of her shots and any office visits. Spay is included in the plan as well. If we weren't on this plan, office visits would be $35 and spaying would be $149-$160.

We're planning on switching Belle to Banfield next year because of the cheaper costs. I also like how we always get the same vet (out of the 3 vets there) every time we go into Banfield. Every time we go to the vet for Belle, we always get a different one.

They said it wasn't mandatory, but they suggested it. I wonder if they just started the micro chipping b/c I wasn't offered that 2 years ago. Do you know who is doing the surgery? We had Dr. Javic - Teddy was home later that night and doing great! I'll keep your baby in my thoughts - she'll do great I'm sure!!!

I have no idea who will do the surgery. I really like Dr. Rothman, but I haven't seen him since I got Kalina. He took care of my Chihuahuas though. So far I have seen 3 different doctors and really liked two of them. The one I didn't care for as much seemed the most knowledgeable though - go figure. I'm not sure what the testing is all about. What do they test for before a spay?

I believe that the testing was to make sure they will do okay with the anesthesia. I've been going to Rothman since I got Teddy and we have only seen Dr. Javic and Dr. Szydlowski (I have no idea how to spell her name), but I have heard that Dr. Rothman is great. Good luck - keep us posted - she will do fine!

Sue, Make sure you do the pre op blood work. Its usually only an extra 30- 40 dollars. They will check to make sure things are ok inside. There are so many what ifs. If something was to be wrong and you didnt know it you could loose her when they knock her out. I always do the bloodwork. To many what ifs
I know someone who didnt do the bloodwork when her dog had a dental and she died while under

I'll definately talk to them about that, thanks!! I don't think they plan on doing bloodwork because when I called they said I just have to make the appt for her to come in and get spayed since she's had a check-up recently. But they have never done any bloodwork on her.
